This summer, I will be processing passive source seismic time series data by waveform cross correlation. The instruments used to record the signals are primarily accelerometers, broadband seismometers, and short-period seismometers. Some instruments have been recording since 8 November 2013, three days after a swarm of twenty-five earthquakes between magnitude 2.0 and 3.6 were identified in Azle, TX, and continue to record today. From what I understand, this data has been seen by few eyes and is very private due to media coverage of the project. For the past week, I have been picking events and will hopefully begin processing the data in the next week or so. The tools I will be using to do my research are Matlab, Antelope, Unix, and GMT.
